Wanna Kicks Let You Try on Sneakers via Augmented Reality

Taking ‘try before you buy’ to the next level, Belarusian start-up Wannaby have introduced Wanna Kicks AR app, which allows users to try sneakers on via augmented reality to see what they’ll look like before purchasing.

Don’t you hate it when you cop a pair online and they just don’t turn out on-foot the way you expected? Those days look to be over thanks to the app’s 3D modelling tech. The app works by aiming a smartphone camera at your feet. From here, you can also move your feet to get a look at different angles of the sneakers, and even walk in them. You can even share on-foot pics on social media to see what your friends think of your fit.

Wanna Kicks is currently in the beta-testing stages for iOS. Find out more here.
